Alumnium alloy LM 25 based composites reinforced with boron carbide at different weight fractions of 4%, 8%, and 12% were fabricated by stir casting technique. The microstructures and morphology of the fabricated composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Elemental mapping of all fabricated composites were done to demonstrate the elements present in the matrix and fabricated composites. The results of microstructural analyses reveal homogenous dispersion of reinforcement particles in the matrix with some little amount of clustering found in composites reinforced with 12% wt. of boron carbide. The mechanical characterization is done for both alloy LM 25 and all fabricated composites based on hardness and tensile strength. The hardness increased from 13.6% to 21.31% and tensile strength 6.4% to 22.8% as reinforcement percentage of boron carbide particles increased from 0% to 12% wt. A fractured surface mapping was also done for all composites.

In this study, WC-stainless steel AISI 347 hardmetal system was produced to replace WC-Co hardmetal which uses the expensive, toxic and depleted resource Co. WC, stainless steel AISI 347 and graphite powder mixture were milled in a planetary mill under argon atmosphere using a stainless steel container and balls. Carbon was added in amounts ranging from 0 wt% until 4 wt% into the composition to avoid unwanted η (Fe3W3C) phase. As-milled powder was compacted at 300 MPa and sintered in a tube furnace at 1350°C. ɳ phase was detected in compositions with 0 and 1 wt% C addition. For 2 wt% C addition, no η (Fe3W3C) phase formation was identified. However, the η phase was detected for compositions containing 3 and 4 wt% C. Maximum hardness was achieved due to the absence of η phase.

Experimental data on supersonic self-sustaining propagation of the energy release wave in low-density mechanically activated powder mixtures are analyzed. Various mechanisms that may be responsible for this process are analyzed, and a mechanism for the detonation-like propagation of the reaction in powder mixtures is proposed. It is shown that under certain conditions this process has all the signs of detonation and should be recognized as one of the types of detonation. It is shown that this type of detonation is fundamentally different from the classical "ideal" detonation, for example, in gases: instead of a shock wave, a compaction wave propagates through the powder mixture, in which there is basically no compression of the particle material, but powder compaction occurs due to the mutual rearrangement of particles. In this case, the initiation of a chemical reaction occurs due to the mutual friction of the oxidizer and fuel particles in the powder compaction wave.

AbstractWe describe a method of obtaining ultrafine boron carbide (B_13C_2) powder using the effect of a dc electric arc on a mixture of initial reactants containing carbon and boron. A peculiarity of the proposed method is that it can be implemented using arc discharge operating in open air without any vacuum equipment and protective inert gas atmosphere. X-ray diffraction data showed that the synthesized product in the general case contained three crystalline phases: boron carbide (B_13C_2), graphite (C), and boron oxide (B_2O_3). Electron-microscopic examination showed that the average size of boron carbide particles ranged from ~50 nm to ~2 μm.

The investigating results are given on the process parameters' influence on the phase and structure formation in the course of the B4C based materials' reactive sintering under the Si molten presence. The interaction of the B4C particles and carbon with the molten silicon was regarded during the reactive sintering. The negative effect of the B4C particles' dissolution in the molten silicon within the reactive sintering was noticed. The methods to raise the boron carbide particles' content in the ceramics based on the reactively sintered boron carbide were discussed.Ill. 10. Ref. 24. Tab. 1.
